~Nadia's POV~
I'm Nadia and I'm 25 years old. I was born and raised in Chicago by my aunt with my older sister Shantii. My sister was 2 years older than me & she loved playin the mama figure. My mama used to take care of us when we was kids but she ended up losing custody because of her addiction problems. My dad died when I was 6 & his death took a big toll on my mama. She got really depressed, stopped eating, then she just turned to drugs. When I was about 13, she died from an overdose while me & Shantii were with my granny. A little before she died, my mom just left us in the house by ourself & we didn't see her for days. Shantii walked us to my gramma's house since she didn't live too far & we had just stayed there for a few nights. One night, the police had showed up & told us that our mom had OD'd. I remember crying like a baby & being mad at both of my parents for leaving me.
I was mostly mad at my mama tho cus I felt like she didn't care about us. Once I got older I realized she did as much as she could to raise us before my daddy died but eventually she just gave up. I live in a house in Southside Chicago where EVERYTHING goes down. It's some shit every day. Me and my boyfriend met about 2 years ago at one of my sister's parties & we've been together ever since. Things between us were rough lately & we'd been arguing for weeks. Some days we wouldn't even sleep in the same room. I was to the point where I didn't care about anything anymore. One day, I woke up & seen my boyfriend laying next to me sleeping so I said "Mm... Guess he finally decided to bring his ass home." I huffed then I got up and picked his clothes up out of the floor and threw them in the hamper.
Me: "Dis nigga can't pick up after himself for shit." I opened the closet up & pulled some clothes out then I went into the bathroom & got in the tub to take a shower. About 20 minutes later, my boyfriend walked in & I heard him peeing then I said "Amir don't flush cus-" I heard the toilet flush then the water got really hot so I yelled & said "Yo ass don't listen!" Amir: "Chill out wit allat yellin bro. It's too early" I cut the water off & said "You did that shit to be an asshole 😐" I pulled the shower curtain back & grabbed 2 towels then he said "Why you always gotta use 2? That's makin more laundry." Me: "Nigga shut up cus yo ass barely even do laundry." Amir: "So?" Me: "So youn get to complain." Amir: "It's extra either way. Just use the one you used on yo head." Me: "Can you just shut up and get out? Ion even know why yo ass tryna argue dis early inna morning."
Amir: "You da one wit an attitude." Me: "Cus I told you not to flush the toilet & yo ass did it anyway" Amir: "You shoulda spoke quicker" Me: "Yo dumbass shoulda listened." He stared at me then I said "Get out please" Amir: "I needa brush my teeth" I sighed heavily then I snatched my clothes off of the counter and mumbled "I swear..." Amir: "What?" Me: "Nothing" I walked out & went back in my bedroom then I slammed the door and locked it. After I got dressed, I stood in the mirror & put my lashes on then I grabbed some lipgloss & put that on too. Amir knocked on the door so I unlocked it then I walked back over to the mirror & put my necklace on. Amir walked past me & smacked my butt then I rolled my eyes and he said "Where you goin bae?" Me: "I gotta go to the grocery store then imma go see Grammy & Shantii. You need anything from the store?"
Amir: "Nah. I needa talk to you when you get back doe." Me: "About what..." Amir: "It ain't nun bad boo." He hugged me from behind & kissed my neck then he said "I love you" Me: "I love you too." Amir: "Be safe" Me: "I will" I turned around & kissed him 3 times then he pulled away and said "Come on mane. You gettin dat shit in my mouth" I started laughing then he said "Ion even know why you wear dat shit" Me: "Hush. Imma be back inna lil bit." Amir: "Ight baby" He smacked my butt twice then I walked downstairs and grabbed my keys off the hook. I looked around in the living room and kitchen then I sighed and said "I needa clean up again when I come home..." I put my jacket on & walked outside then I got in my car and hit the locks. I sent a text to my sister that said "I'm goin to see Grammy den imma be on my way ova to yo crib."
